State of Decay

Almost everytime I return to the game, stuff in my inventory (and even things that I put in my storage at base) will disappear. Even when I make sure to exit after completing a mission or something, to be certain it autosaves.

Items I had for several missions, and into an hour of playing, just gone. Weapons, consumables, whatever. Only things that are always safe is what I have equipped, so one gun and one melee weapon. Everything else can disappear on next launch.

I thought at first it was just because of when it autosaves, and I just happened to exiting before a save that would let me keep my stuff, usually by going back to my base.

So, is it just me? If not, is there a fix? Or am I doomed to lose items unless I play through in one sitting?

Check your other survivors. Are any of them holding the weapons?I know in my playthroughs they've grabbed melee and ranged weapons from the supply locker on their own accord. I don't know if they take consumables, but certain basic consumables get reset every new day.

I'll check that for what goes missing from the supply locker. Hopefully that's all it is for that issue, so I can just stick things in there and check the others after, as an annoying work-around for my inventory disappearing.

One gun in particular that I remember being in my inventory, then gone after playing again, is a Super Z. I just checked the other survivors and one of them does indeed have one. I don't recall if any had one before, and I never put it in the supply locker.

So, he either had it already, or at least one of them did, or these mofos rob me in my sleep?

Then there are the consumables. Not usually a huge issue to me, until my grenades disappeared. A couple in the locker, as well as the ones in my inventory.

It should be.

Unequipped survivors will look to your suupply locker for a melee and gun, as they will take stuff like pills and snacks.

If you are the kind of player that likes to just go on to stack survivors in the community, all the more common such occurrence becomes.

You can solve it in one of two simple ways, 1. stop having such large communities or 2. equip them yourself, since once equipped, they will no longer take anything from the locker.
